The Indian Embassy in China has firmly rejected as 'disinformation' a recent post by China's state-controlled Global Times on social media platform X. This post alleged that the Pakistan Air Force successfully shot down Indian fighter jets.

According to the Global Times, the purported action by Pakistan was in response to what it described as Indian missile strikes on Pakistani territory, a claim that has now been categorically denied by the Indian diplomatic mission.

The statement from the embassy was quick to address and negate the allegations, emphasizing that the information shared by Global Times was false and misleading.
